Same general situation…no electricity, cars, etc.
Thanks for a great review!

I didn’t read Lighthouse Island but this is so much more than a genre. For me, it worked and I loved it. Other may not have been so appreciative.

I’m going to need to read this book – yesterday. Like Shannon, I love the ‘genre’ but get bored with the same nonsense being trotted out too often.

You don’t even need a conspiracy, Jennine, just a virus with no cure- which is what happens in the novel. And yes, it does make me want to be a more self-sufficient but I’m too lazy!

I’m not a conspiracy theorist or anything crazy, but I honestly think this will happen one day. We’re going to push things to a point of collapse. Tempts me to take up major gardening, candle making, maybe buy a cow? Lol

That’s exactly it. It worked for me on every level.

Shannon stole my response. 😉 Really though, I looooove dystopian. But these “quieter” ones, stories that focus on the way of life rather than a ton of action, can be really powerful.
